false capital
When large well known cities are not the capital of a state, the capital usually winds up being a city that no one ever hears about. Examples, Harrisburg PA, Albany NY, Carson City, Nevada etc.
Person: Wtf? Philadelhpia isn't the capital of PA? NYC isn't the capital of NY!!?!? Las Vegas isn't the capital of Nevada?!?!?
Me: Yup, there all false capitals
Me: Yup, there all false capitals
